In this episode of the 'Drew Carey Show,' Drew and the guys formed a band, but were not content with being a power trio. In a last minute effort to get someone to play guitar to fill in the sound, they decide to post a flyer to fill the vacancy in the band. Drew jokes, "Where are we gonna get somebody to play on one day's notice for only $10?"
How gifted a songwriter is Dave Mustaine? Well, the heavy metal mastermind has written so many great songs that some of them haven't even made it onto regular Megadeth albums. Like his former Metallica bandmates during their peak years ('86-'92), Mustaine has given record collectors a lot to be happy about, dropping stellar non-album Megadeth tracks on everything from soundtrack compilations to single B-sides.
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine is responsible for some of heavy metal’s most memorable riffs, and since 2006, Mustaine has been working with one of the most metal companies, Dean Guitars, to create a diverse assortment of axes. In keeping with tradition, Mustaine and Dean have just unveiled their newest collaboration, the Zero series.
Dave Mustaine has been bitten by the creative bug. The Megadeth frontman and guitarist tweeted that he is already inspired to write lyrics for new music, despite the fact that the band just issued album No. 14 in the form of 'Super Collider' earlier this year. He also tweeted about other projects he is working on, so he is remaining busy, busy, busy.
If you weren't able to sway to the 'Symphony of Destruction' in late 2012 and somehow missed Dave Mustaine and company's 20th anniversary tour celebrating Megadeth's classic, 1992-released 'Countdown to Extinction,' fear not. The band will release the 'Countdown to Extinction: Live' set on Sept. 24.
Jason Newsted and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, both formerly of Metallica at different periods in the band's career, closed out Gigantour 2013 by performing a Metallica cover together. Both had hinted that they would collaborate on a Metallica track and they didn't disappoint fans, offering up their rendition of 'Phantom Lord,' which Mustaine co-wrote and which appears on 'Kill 'Em All.'
Cleartone Strings has unveiled their new Dave Mustaine signature Monster guitar strings. Mustaine partnered with the company after he tried a set of Cleartone strings and loved them. He said they felt more solid and durable and that they were noticeably louder than his normal strings.
Metal fans know Megadeth’s Chris Broderick can shred like no other, but they may not know Broderick’s affinity for classical guitar. The video above features a humorous look at the shredder working at Jackson Guitars’ office. In the clip, you can get a close-up look at Broderick playing his custom Jackson Soloist 7.
Megadeth frontman and guitarist Dave Mustaine hinted that he would collaborate with Jason Newsted onstage for a rendition of a Metallica classic when Newsted returns to Gigantour after resting up from a bout of walking pneumonia.
